Amazing how people can see the same thing differently. That's what makes this show so much fun to analyze.

He doesn't look angry to me in that picture. More amused.

This picture? I think he looks lost in thought.

I can't tell his emotions from any of those photos. I'm not sure what other people are seeing.

Exactly! He could just be thinking he needs to take a dump.

Absolutely Woody and Puzzled. And what kind of men sit around and allow it to happen over and over again? I have NO RESPECT for any of the men in this house.

Hermione and Karuuna, I saw that conversation between Dick and Jen at the hot tub on ShoToo last night. Dick's demeanor was clenched up like a cat's ass.

That's quite possible, Sanfran. I'm just saying I can't tell it from the photos. And I am one of those who finds his behavior intolerable.

So true, Boberg. Most people like ED think when people are silent, they agree. I belonged to an organisation where one guy was belligerent and insulted and belittled the moderator, constantly. Someone would always say something, but he just kept on. Finally, we realised he thought everyone was backing him because they didn't speak up. We made a pact that every single one of us would speak up. He was stunned when he realised that he wasn't being supported and no one actually agreed with him. It was amazing how his behaviour improved. Dick needs to have the other hamsters to hold up a mirror to him.

Ah, SanFran. I didn't see it. I don't get the live feeds because of my deafness, but I don't say that often because sometimes people don't seem to think your opinion counts if you don't get the live feeds. And I like my opinion to count.

One of the ways I think about the how Dick treats Jen is that he is still trying to make her feel as crappy as he felt after she said "Don't let Dick touch any of us." He is not being successful as far as Jen shows on the outside. I think Dick needs help to deal with his insecurities about rejection. Eeek! That being said, Jen is not a very likable person and seems to not care which that alone is not very popular. She really needs to work on her people skills but I don't think she will. And before anybody even thinks it, yes, Dick definitely needs to work on his people skills. Bartenders used to be so sociable, didn't they?

Exactly Puzzled. Dick thinks he has the support of the LNC...they speak badly of him and his actions only when he is not around to hear them. I think they are intimidated by him and just glad it is Jen and not them getting his rath of anger. Cowards IMHO. Seems these days that principles are sold for a chance at $500, 000

Yes, Boberg, it's a example of how the love of money is the root of evil (or should I say Evel?)

Well, the tea-dumping incident has made it to CBS's commercials for tomorrow night's show. So I guess you could say BB loved it.

I'm just watching BBAD from last night and listening to Dick talking with Jessica on the backyard couches and I can not believe the things he is saying to her. Well actually I can believe it but it's making me cringe. Here he is old enough to be her father and asking her questions like how old was she when she lost her virginity and the way he is using the f word - Yuck! Jess is handling it all pretty well and even talking away but a few times she had kind of a wow! look on her face like when he said what if she didn't marry until 30, she'd miss the best f years of her life (when talking how she had wanted to stay a virgin until she got married). The whole thing just gives me the creeps. I wouldn't want him talking to my daughter like that. I know this is nothing compared to what he was saying to Jen but it just further solidifies my feelings toward him.

There is a website where Dick is being interviewed . . . Does anyone know how to get there?

Denecee- as someone here pointed out a few posts back- it's not fair to keep bringing up Jen and the first week where we saw the EDITED version that cbs wanted us to. Nobody had live feeds yet, so in all fairness we don't really know what happened the first week and that particular challenge, do we? We don't know why Jen didn't want Dick to touch her- maybe he was making remarks when he met her before the challenge, and she was really turned off..we just don't know..all we saw was what cbs wanted us to see.

Boberg- I so agree with you- if one of the guys stood up to him- they would look like a hero..they would earn a ton of respect not only on the inside but on the outside world also..and would probably win the show!

The "tea dumping" may have encouraged in the diary room or not. To me it wasn't any more evil than rigging the faucet sprayer to douse his own daughter. He knew she would use it first to make coffee.

Ok- I just watched the recording of the first challenge- Jen said (tactfully) to dick- "don't be the scraper, you don't have to be the scraper"- Dick then said.."everybody has to alternate" ..and Jen said.."we don't HAVE to alternate"..and then Dick said "if you don't want me touching you then go up at the pump" So Dick was the one who brought up the "touching" incident. Then cbs shows Jen WHISPERING to KAIL about not letting dick touch them..it wasn't Jen saying it in front of everyone..like some here have said. Again. we don't know what was done or words that were spoken before the challenge took place. Jen has done nothing to warrant this behavior from dick...even if she is self-centered or annoying to dick she doesn't deserve what he has said to her... I am really disturbed by people even making fun of the iced tea incident..if you watch the whole argument, what could make a woman or man condone such behavior is beyond me.

The difference is that he rigged the faucet as a joke.

I think I remember reading somewhere that Dick's son posts on another board somewhere. Does anyone know if he has posted his thoughts on what he thinks of his father's behavior towards Jen? It's bad enough the things ED says to her, but also the fact that he is speaking this way in front of his daughter, Dani.
